Willamette Week Best Of Portland
January 1, 2004
- BEST COVER GIRL
When we featured local pop artist Miss Mona Superhero’s duct tape drawings
in the April 23 issue of our paper, we knew we’d want to see her Home Depot meets Homeland Security Act psychedelic-induced artwork again.
She’s the perfect example, in the age of Ashcroft, of someone who’s willing to tackle a terror-inducing subject and flip it on its head.
Still, we were a bit surprised when this pioneer of plumber’s-aid portraiture (and longstanding Rose City burlesque legend) accepted our shy plea to create some Mona-riginal art for the cover of Best of Portland 2003. After all, ever since she picked up her X-Acto knife just last winter, Mona’s shiny, hyper kinetic color riots have been in high demand for everything from album art to wall murals. Lucky for us, this gracious cut-and-paste queen (she works only in multicolored tape on white melamine) took on our challenge and came back with her own Portland’s best: a starry, electric, one-woman, two-wheeled wonder. Roller disco, anyone?

Willamette Week Picks
April 18, 2003
Mona Superhero is a rising Pop-art superstar whose 15 minutes have officially commenced. In a few short months the self-taught dynamo whipped up a rather extraordinary batch of trippy tableaux rendered in precision-cut duct tape. Multicolored, sliced and diced, overlaid and underlaid in intricate fashion, with dominant central figures surrounded by ornamentation approaching the Byzantine. It’s a gimmicky medium, but these works would turn heads even if they were merely
paintings.
3356 SE Belmont St., 235-6041. Closes April 30. View Mona Superhero’s art online at www.monasuperhero.com.
